Laparoscopic ureteral anti-reflux plasty reimplantation. First clinical experience

G Janetschek et al. Ann Urol (Paris). 1995.

Abstract

Several animal studies have demonstrated that antireflux surgery by means of laparoscopy is technically feasible, but clinical experience is as yet lacking. Six girls aged between 6 and 10 years underwent laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir anti-reflux surgery for vesicoureteral reflux and recurrent urinary infections. Three unilateral and three bilateral procedures were performed. No ureteral stents were used. One girl was operated on via an extraperitoneal approach. A mild unilateral stenosis was observed in one child, which, however, subsided after stenting for six weeks. A borderline compensated pyeloureteral stenosis decompensated shortly after the operation. Another child had an uncomplicated urinary tract infection. No other complications were seen. The laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir antireflux procedure is a complicated operation, which offers no advantage over the conventional procedure.
